Harrys Man and Van Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is published by Harrys Man and Van to set out our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. As Harry's Man & Van continues to provide removal and transport services, we affirm a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking. This statement applies to all workers, contractors and suppliers associated with Harrys Man and Van services.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and require every team member and partner to comply. Employees of Harrys Man & Van are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation and to report concerns immediately. Our employment practices include appropriate right-to-work checks, fair pay practices and explicit contractual terms that prohibit the use of forced, bonded or child labour across all Harrys removal service operations.

A man and a woman engaged in a house removals task inside a residential property, with the man holding two large cardboard moving boxes stacked on top of each other, both smiling at the camera. The boxes are plain brown, with one displaying a white label and the other marked 'FRAGILE' in red. The woman stands behind the man, also smiling, wearing casual clothing with a plaid shirt. In the background, several other cardboard boxes are stacked on the floor, some sealed and ready for transportation. The interior of the house features plain white walls, a minimalistic setting, and natural lighting, suggesting a neat and organized environment suitable for a house move. To the right, part of a green potted plant is visible, adding a touch of greenery to the scene. The setting indicates a professional house removals service, with Harrys Man and Van often operating in local areas around towns and suburbs in the UK.

Supply Chain Oversight and Supplier Audits

We maintain a risk-based approach to supplier management. Supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits are central to our approach. Audits assess labour practices, working hours, wage compliance and health and safety standards. Key audit elements include:
  • Verification of worker documentation and recruitment practices
  • On-site inspections and third-party verification where required
  • Remediation plans and follow-up checks for non-compliant suppliers
We use these supplier checks to ensure Harrys man & van contractors meet our standards and to reduce risk throughout our logistics and subcontractor network.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Harrys Man and Van provides clear reporting channels for employees, contractors and partners to raise concerns. We maintain confidential reporting mechanisms and a formal escalation process. Any report of suspected modern slavery triggers immediate review and, where appropriate, suspension of the supplier relationship until the issue is resolved. Reports are treated with confidentiality and without retaliation.

In a well-lit, modern house interior, two individuals are shaking hands with a professional mover dressed in red uniform, including a red cap, white shirt, and red overalls, standing on the left side of the image. The mover is holding a hand truck with a cardboard box on it, suggesting a successful move or agreement. In the background, a young couple, a man and a woman, stand together smiling, facing the mover; the man wears a green T-shirt and jeans, while the woman has long dark hair and wears casual clothing. Surrounding them are several stacks of cardboard moving boxes in various sizes, some sealed with packing tape, and a few open with packing materials inside. To the right, a tall folding ladder leans against the wall, and a potted plant with broad green leaves sits on a box, near a window that lets natural daylight flood into the room. The scene captures a professional house removal process, with clear focus on packaging, moving equipment, and the friendly interaction, in an environment typical of a house in the UK near the postcode area of the town associated with Harrys Man and Van's services in the area of London or surrounding regions, emphasizing domestic relocation in a clean and organized residential setting.

Due Diligence, Policies and Risk Assessment

We conduct regular risk assessments across our operations and for the different categories of goods and services we procure. Our due diligence process includes background checks on recruitment agencies, screening new suppliers for compliance, and embedding anti-slavery clauses into contracts. The company handbook and procurement policies explicitly require suppliers to adhere to our anti-slavery standards and to cooperate with audits and investigations.

Employee awareness is reinforced through mandatory training, contractor briefings and the dissemination of our anti-slavery policy to all new partners. Harrys Man & Van's commitment includes continuous improvement of procedures and targeted action where higher-risk activities are identified, ensuring that our workforce and subcontractors understand their responsibilities.

We require corrective action plans for any supplier found in breach of our standards. Compliance agreements and termination clauses are used to manage persistent non-compliance. Our procurement teams review supplier performance and prioritise remediation, ensuring that those providing Harrys removal services operate ethically and transparently.

Two individuals, a man in a red long-sleeve shirt and a woman in a purple sweater, stand next to an open removals van parked outside a residential brick house in a suburban area, possibly within the postcode region associated with Harrow or nearby town. The man has light brown hair and the woman has dark hair tied back. They are engaged in conversation, with the woman holding a small paper cup, and both appear to be smiling. Inside the van, a large, beige sofa with fabric upholstery is partially visible, positioned among several cardboard boxes of various sizes, some with visible packing tape, stacked orderly along the container's interior. The scene is set outdoors during daylight hours, with natural light illuminating the area, and the background shows the brick exterior of the house with white-framed windows, a small front garden with bushes, and mature trees. The environment suggests a typical home removal or relocation carried out by Harrys Man and Van, providing a clear view of household furniture and moving items preparation outside a suburban dwelling on a quiet street.

Monitoring, Annual Review and Transparency

We publish this anti-slavery statement annually and commit to an annual review of our policies and practices. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels and staff training. Findings from the review inform policy updates, resource allocation and strategic decisions to strengthen the Harrys man & van anti-slavery framework. This annual process ensures accountability and ongoing vigilance across the business.

Two removal operatives dressed in red overalls are inside a bright, unfurnished room with light wood flooring and white walls. They are stacking a large cardboard box between them, each holding one side as they position it on top of a column of similar-sized boxes. Several additional cardboard boxes of various sizes are placed along the edges of the room, some on the floor near the walls, indicating a moving or packing process. The room has two sizable windows with wooden frames, allowing natural light to illuminate the space, and the windows have partially open or closed grey blinds. The environment suggests a residential setting, with minimal furnishings, typical of a house in the UK, possibly in a town or suburb associated with the postcode area implied by the webpage. The scene reflects a professional and systematic approach to house removals, managed by Harrys Man and Van or a similar local removals service.

Governance and Continuous Improvement

Our senior management team is responsible for governance of the anti-slavery programme and for ensuring that remedial actions are implemented promptly. We embed anti-slavery considerations into procurement strategy, tender evaluations and partner selection. By combining proactive supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and an unwavering zero-tolerance stance, Harrys Man and Van strives to eradicate modern slavery risks in our operations and those of our partners.
